If you're someone who spent hours playing the original Super Monkey Ball and its sequel Super Monkey Ball 2 on your GameCube, then the new mod/level pack Super Monkey Ball Redux may be of interest to you.
Developed by fan creators SHK and ShangoYeen (aka ZanPan777), it is an upcoming mod for Super Monkey Ball 2 on the Nintendo GameCube that aims to offer "modern twists and remixes" on the first Super Monkey Ball's 118 levels in the simian sequel.
This includes bringing in mechanics introduced only in the latter (such as wormholes) and unique takes on each stage depending on the difficulty level. It came to our attention earlier, thanks to Kaze Emanuar's F3 2026 showcase, and is scheduled to release in Spring 2027, but already has a demo available now if you find yourself unable to wait until then.
As stated on the card for the hack, the level pack was made with"tremendous help from the SMB Level Workshop community's tools and awesome members," and also was said to be created without "any form of generative AI."
You can download the demo here if you want to give it a try. Just bear in mind that, because it's a work in progress, things are likely to differ between this preview and the finished version.
